City Seeks Comment On Application for Clean-Up Grant
Brownfield sites represent some of the best opportunities for
redeveloping Tulsa with a long-term view. The public is invited to
comment on the City of Tulsa's application for a Brownfield
Clean-Up Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency for the
Evans-Fintube site located at 150 and 186 N. Lansing Ave.
"Brownfield sites" means real property, the expansion,
redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence

followed by a presentation and a time for questions and
answers.
The draft proposal for the Evans-Fintube clean-up grant will
include an analysis of Brownfields clean-up alternatives and
information about the site. The draft will summarize information
about the site's contamination issues, cleanup standard, applicable
laws and the proposed cleanup.
On Wednesday, Nov. 16, the City of Tulsa will post a copy of the
draft proposal on the City website for public review and comments.
